 Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours? |
|
What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately? Come, tell me about yourself. What excites you about writing? What other things do you do: Art, music, animals?    Photo: The Huntington Japanese Gardens, photo by Seabreeze |
| Prompt #24: Who's your favorite fictional character and why? This is a tuff one for me as I do not read that much fiction. I am a biography type reader. But, as characters go, I like a character who is strong in attitude, lots of muscle, with details about their mannerism. I like it when there is a lot of detail in a story as it really paints a picture for me, like a movie. Cops, detectives, murder mysteries, ones based on true history is fun to read even though it probably would be fictional. I like the early 20s time period, the clothing, the cars. Maybe I lived before in another life. |
| Prompt #23: Do you have any family stories from previous generations? Share one if you have it, and/or tell us a story about your life that you'd like your descendants to retell for years to come. Family stories? Nothing real exciting or that I could hand down to my grandchildren. However, just a little story about my dad's mother. She was a tiny lady from what I understand as I never met her but I understand she was powerful. Her husband, my grandfather, was a blacksmith. But he liked his drink and I guess would come home drunk many times. He gave her grief once and she took a frying pan to him. Now frying pans back in those days were iron. I am sure that hurt a lot and from what I understand, she never had anymore trouble from him again. Seabreeze 5.20.25 |
| Prompt #22: What plot twist (it can be from any movie, television show, book, video game, etc.) surprised you the most? That is hard to pin down. I think one of the best TV shows was Columbo. The lines, the plots and little innuendos. Great writers they had on that show. However, Mash was another favorite. Maybe you saw it, this one: Too many good ones to choose from!  |
| Prompt #21: What's your favorite possession? This is tuff!! First, I say my son. NO, I really don't possess him in the true sense but he is mine. I would say my newly key board, Casio. I love music and play piano. Was without it for years; so happy to have one in my life now. However, I would miss my paints (watercolors), my chess board, my plants if you took them away. Maybe I don't have a favorite. Seabreeze 5.10.25 |
| Prompt #20: Where is your favorite place in the whole world? This may sound corny, but home. Sure, being in some romantic city in a foreign country sounds like that would be a favorite place; but not for me. I want to be able to have that security that home provides. Home provide a place of serenity; a sureness that foreign places, places that we are unfamiliar, cannot provide. With "home", I am including my actual residence, family, and my country. I really don't have a desire to travel (have health issues as well), so I stay close to places that I am familiar with; people I know and love. Seabreeze 5.6.25 |
| Prompt #19: Who inspires you? Give a quick overview of the person and why you find them so compelling. I was inspired by the president of a company I worked at for ten years. The individual, Terry, was a man that everyone respected. He was the type of guy who walked the company, saying good morning to all the workers, which at the time I started were about 50 employees. And, even after we grew to over several 100 employees, he still did the same greeting in the morning. He was a man who would not be opposed to making coffee when we were a young company. And, if you did something that wasn't considered your job, he would be sure to recognize it and make a nice compliment. He took time out of his busy schedule to recognize new employees to the organization. Yes, a big company would have your name recognized maybe in a newsletter or bulletin. But Terry went just a bit further and would be sure to locate that employee and say hi. When we grew to over 1000, he was there at the welcome orientation to say hi to the new hireries. This man had a funny side to him and loved to show it. I had been promoted to be his secretary. One day he called me in via the telecom, to his office to take dictation. As I opened the door, went in took a seated, he had his back turned as if he was reaching for something behind his desk. As he turn around, he had a rubber chicken in one hand and he face contorted and he looked like Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy team. With the other hand he grabbed his tie and flicked it about. I thought I was going to die. He looked like Stan Laurel a little anyways. All my years of working in the office of many companies, I never experienced such an executive as Terry. He was a jewel. One of a kind. I understand that, he was very good at golf and could have been a pro but decided to work in the health care industry instead. So many people became lucky to have him do so. My hat off to you Terry. Seabreeze 5.2.25 |
Prompt #18: If you could switch places with someone, would you choose someone based on the person you would want to become, or based on the person you'd want to experience your life? Who would that be? I think I would like to trade for one day with Doctor Ben Carson. I would like to do so when he was in surgery. I would like to know what that experience is like, to see in the brain, to help someone in pain and help the family of that person. I have such respect for Dr. Carson. Seabreeze 4.28.25 |
| Prompt #17: If you had the opportunity to meet an infamous criminal, would you want to? Who would it be? Yes, Ted Bundy, serial killer. Dr. Dobson did get to interview him before he was executed and for the same reasons I would want to. Try to understand what drove the man to do what he did. Some things that came out of the interview was that Bundy was into pornography at an early age. If i remember correctly, he came from a normal family; not history of abuse. He just seemed to have drifted into un-natural situations, testing things, pushing to see how far he could go. He seem to be a polite individual, very intelligent they say, but not sure a lot of it wasn't an act at the interview to get sympathy. All I can say is, how could an individual that did all that he did be "normal"? Seabreeze 4.24.25 |
| Prompt #16: Make a prediction for the future and explain your reasoning. There is only one prediction that I could seriously make and that would be that I believe Christ will return. Anything else, well there is too much other stuff going on in the world to even choose. When you have people wanting to kill our newly elected President of the United States; when you have people who some how believe that they are no longer a male and want to be a female; you have those who think we now have 100 plus pronouns, I mean, where would I start. I am a believer in God and that His son will return to take care of our planet, people will be accountable for their actions and those who believe will be in a better place with Jesus. I really don't have much more than that to add. Blessings to you, Seabreeze |
| Prompt #15: Challenge a popular opinion. This is a challenge as there are so many popular opinions and it is hard to know where to start. Let's look at global warning? I am not a scientist nor do I have statistics or facts on the subject. Personal opinion is that what I have read, there are just as many scientist that disagree with global warning as there are those we believe in it. We know how they say the earth is really old; millions upon billions years old. We know that there are cycles in the weather. I believe what we are experiencing is just that. If it does exist, it is very, very, very slow. You would have thought that all the ice caps would have melted by now. But there are a lot around. God provides rain and cold weather to freeze areas. I am not a big fan of statistics especially if they are just produced by Government agencies. So, it is a trust situation for me. I also believe that God is in control and I believe His son will return. Yes, it may be with a catastrophic situation, but we will have little control over it. I do believe we should do what we can to take care of what God has put in our hands. Polution is a problem and we need to take care of our technology, improve it, especially where factories and other industry is causing problems. But, unless we can get other nations to join us, what little we can do is just that; to little to make a difference. I guess you would say I am on the fence about it all. I wish I had better faith in the whole system of controlling or correcting a subject such as Global Warming! Seabreeze 4.21.25 |
